The Q at Parkside

(for those for whom the Parkside Q is their hometrain)

News and Nonsense from the Brooklyn neighborhood of Lefferts and environs, or more specifically a neighborhood once known as Melrose Park. Sometimes called Lefferts Gardens. Or Prospect-Lefferts Gardens. Or PLG. Or North Flatbush. Or Caledonia (west of Ocean). Or West Pigtown. Across From Park Slope. Under Crown Heights. Near Drummer's Grove. The Side of the Park With the McDonalds. Jackie Robinson Town. Home of Lefferts Manor. West Wingate. Near Kings County Hospital. Or if you're coming from the airport in taxi, maybe just Flatbush is best.

The Q at Parkside Goes Greenmarket - SUNDAYS!!!

Fantastic news, y'all. A year after a failed attempt to bring a Farmer('s') Market to the Parkside Plaza, GrowNYC has announced this weekend will mark the beginning of the real deal. News, and flyer, from Frank Milliron of Parkside Court reached the Q just this morning. Lookie here:

Some vendors have individual card readers but if you use your debit/credit card at the manager tent you can get tokens which you can use at the whole market (at parkside as well as the other markets mentioned). And your $2 fee goes to grownyc instead of the ATM. Thank you to everyone who came out in the heat today! :)
